This query is : Resolved

15 June 2013 Hi,

I brought a land and constructed a house on the same during 1994-95. During 2011-12 I demolished the house and constructed a new house there.
Now that I'm planning to sell this house.

1. whether the capital gain is short term or long term?

2. Can I compute my CG separately for the land and house to avail indexation benefit for land?

3. Can I add the cost of demolition of the old house to Cost of the new house that is built?

15 June 2013 1. its long term Capital gain

2. No you can not separate land and building

3. yes, you can add cost of demolition to it.

15 June 2013 1. Land long term asset. Building short term asset.

2. CG for land and building should be calculated separately. Please refer CIT Vs Dr. Ramachandra Rao (1999) 236 ITR 51 (Mad).
